Soaps and detergents emulsify by surrounding small globules of fat, preventing them from settling out. Bile acts as an emulsifying agent in the digestive tract by dispersing ingested fats into small globules. emulsification,n.

The increased degradation of nanoparticles due to their higher mobility compared to micron-size particles resulting from the emulsifiable concentrate (14) may reduce the availability of the active ingredient to produce the mortality.

Products with the same active ingredient may be described as granular, flowable, emulsifiable, or wettable based on the inert ingredients in the formulation [National Pesticide Telecommunications Network (NPTN) 1999].
